That looks a lot like the Wista I was tempted by a few years ago. Realistically I couldn't really afford it and the costs of operating the thing would have been sky-high. But it was a beautiful camera with some very nice lenses in the kit. > I don't know much about scanning big negs, I prefer wet prints from > film. > The few scans of a big neg I have done were with my Epson 2450 > scanner, and > they scans were quite acceptable.

If you're going to print 4x5 digitally there's no point shooting big film then cutting corners with the scanner. You'd probably be better off sending them out for professional drum scanning. - Dave -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
